The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, given that there is no definition of the term "order" in the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 nor in the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, that the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 amends the definition contained in section 2 of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 and that all three acts apply to the Skye Bridge crossing, whether the amended definition whereby "a traffic regulation order may make any provision prohibiting, restricting or regulating the use of a road" indicates regulation of the A87 trunk road by the three traffic regulation orders issued in relation to the Invergarry-Kyle of Lochalsh Trunk Road (A87) Extension (Skye bridge Crossing) Special Road Scheme Order 1992 (SI 1992/1499).

The answer

Answered by Lewis Macdonald on 28 May 2002 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

The three main orders issued in relation to the Skye Bridge crossing are The Invergarry
- Kyle of Lochalsh Trunk Road (A87) Extension (Skye Bridge Crossing) (Detrunking) Order 1992, The Invergarry
- Kyle of Lochalsh Trunk Road (A87) Extension (Skye Bridge Crossing) Special Road (Side Roads) Order 1992 and The Invergarry
- Kyle of Lochalsh Trunk Road (A87) Extension (Skye Bridge Crossing) Toll Order 1992. These were made under powers in the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 and the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. They are not traffic regulation orders.
